they never even investigated Sprewell when he tanked so he could force a coaching change at GS,the Blazers have some young inconsistant guys,that's all.

I would think the media would be all over this story if the NBA was investigating this. The Blazers have basically thrown in the towel this year and are giving their future group of players a chance to play together.

The media is all over Mike Tice for scalping football tickets, so I would imagine if the Blazers were being investigated this would be all over the internet.

i guess the NBA needs to investigate the Atlanta Hawks for "tanking" the past what.. 10 years? hahaha

I can see it going either way.
I heard about the Tice thing from the local radio a few days before it actually hit the major media.. at that point it was only a "rumor".
on the other hand, if the Blazers were tanking games, it would be very difficult to keep that a secret through the entire organization.

I just wanted to see if there was any fire to the smoke here though.
thanks guys.
